President Trump told Reuters he “was unaware of his son Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting last year with a Russian lawyer at the heart of a White House controversy” and that he “only learned of it a couple of days ago.”
Said Trump: “No, that I didn’t know until a couple of days ago when I heard about this.”
Trump added that he did not fault his son for holding the meeting: “I think many people would have held that meeting.”
